Oh yeah . . . I remember now
So I ventured into the big ass Harvard library yesterday. And when I say big ass, that's no exaggeration. The place has columns. COLUMNS I SAY! (Incidentally I had to swipe my ID card to get in the front door and again when I entered the stacks. There's no covert ops at this university. Hells no. They know EXACTLY where my ass has been on ( Read more... ) -
Who would have ever thought . . .
. . . that I would enjoy playing Fantasy Football? (Or Fairytale Football as I call it)
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the other people in my league are my coworkers, so when I win I can rub it in their faces. Or perhaps that the Yahoo Fantasy sports website allows you to have a personal avatar which you can dress up in different ( Read more... ) -
Reason #487 to join the European Union

When I inquired as to the origin of this wealth of free sugar I was informed that one of my coworkers had allowed her ( Read more... ) -
good lord.
This morning on the way to work I saw a van with this bumper sticker:
Smile. Jesus Love's You.
And I thought to myself: "Perhaps Jesus does love me, but does Jesus love people who can't be bothered to proof read 4 words before printing them on a sticker and slapping them on a vehicle?" -
The Halloween that wasn't (or won't be)
I have no plans for Halloween this year. It's a first for me. We always did the Rocky Horror thing in college, and the last two years I've had parties to go to. This year? Nothing. No one I know is throwing any type of gathering (at least not that I've heard of and/or been invited to) and I don't even have any kids/cousins/nieces/nephews/ ( Read more... ) -

the dilemna of the itunes
Do I create an itunes account or not? It's so tempting . . . .
Pros
Buy music whenever I want and receive the tracks INSTANTLY (I'm a huge fan of the instant gratification thing.)
Most of the albums are cheaper than retail prices anyway
I can buy individual tracks without buying the whole CD
no more fear of being carted off to prison for illegally ( Read more... ) -
I feel like I've just converted to a new religion
We finally bit the bullet and bought a Macbook. It's amazing. I'm never buying another PC again ( Read more... )
